More Snapshots of Chinatown . . .

The "shopportunities" in Chinatown are endless!!  If you're in the mood for food there are fresh seafood markets,  produce markets, bakeries and more EVERYWHERE.

 

I came home with two lbs. of cherries, a bunch of Chinese pears, some delicious mangos and, of course, a bag full of Chinese pastries that my family devoured within a day and a half.  FYI ~ Chinese spongecake is the spongiest cake I've EVER eaten!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

The group of boys I chaperoned are my son, Brendan, Isaac, Tyreke and Nick.  Too cute!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After taking in a few more sights, we all went to lunch and then said goodbye to the kids as they headed for the bus. 

 

Retail therapy time for the moms!!  I bought the pink one!!

 
 

These gorgeous antique teapots make me wish I was a tea drinker!!

Thanks so much for sharing my fun time in Chinatown with me.  I'm looking forward to going back again real soon.  This time without 45 children in tow!!  : )

 Many blessings for a happy Thursday ~ Wendy

Snapshots of Chinatown . . .

Yesterday, I helped chaparone a class trip to Chinatown in NYC with my youngest son, Brendan's, class.  It was a wonderful day and there were so many different sights and sounds and smells (oh, the smells!!) to take in.  I could've taken a million photos!! 




 
 
 
  

In the midst of all the Chinese culture is a Jewish Synagogue.  It was absolutely gorgeous.

The synagogue was located right next door to a small Buddhist temple.  The children got to ask questions about all of the different things they saw and I was very happy when I was told it was okay to take photos.  : )

 

 

This is a prayer flag outside of the temple.  Probably my favorite photo of the day.

This is the FDNY firehouse in Chinatown.  We were lucky enough to catch them coming back from a run!!

  

I loved seeing the stars and stripes in the midst of everything!!

  

Tomorrow I'll share more photos including some of the fantastic finds we discovered.  Happy Wednesday!!


Many blessings ~ Wendy
